    Performed with matchless aplomb and made with plush professionalism, pic serves up pure pleasure from beginning to end.

    A truly amazing comedy filled with delightful performances. Lane is particularly memorable, he lets his talent shine and he milks every moment. A can't-be-missed experience!… Expand
